Film Lesson- "Gandi"

Gandhi did a lot to help India gain its independence. India also went through a lot and without Gandhi, then they probably wouldn't have made it through all of that and gained their independence. Gandhi believed in a no violence revolution. So he refused to fight back if India fought back. There was a scene in the movie where the people that followed and believed in Gandhi where they would go up to the Indian policeman that were under the British Rule and then they would get hit by them. The civilians didn't do anything but get hit and then the woman just went up to them and took care of their wounds. It was just a chain and they kept going. It was really sad that they would just accept getting hit by their own people. Even though they were still under British rule they were still Indian.
Gandhi did a salt march in which Indians would go into the Indian ocean and get their own salt. They would do this in order to insure they weren't going to buy anymore from the British. In order to show that they would not give in into the British and that they can go on their own, then they would make their own salt. It was like an act of rebellion towards the British. There was also a massacre that changed everything. In the movie, after the Ami star massacre, Gandhi decided to make a non-violence revolution. He didn't want to be like the British and be at their level with violence so he did a non--violence revolution. His philosophy was that if it was a non-violence revolution, they would see that they are not like them. No i dont think India would have gotten their independence from Britain without Gandhi because he had alot to do with their independence.
